The Illuminated Origin of Species, a one-of-a-kind work of art, combines traditional illumination and botanical art with the unabridged first edition of Darwin’s masterpiece of scientific literature.

Whether you love science, books, art, or all three, I look forward to sharing the milestones of this project with you. Please consider making a purchase or donation to help make The Illuminated Origin of Species possible.

"The Theory of Darwinian Evolution, which continues to be refined by thousands of scientists working around the world, is the basis for the entire field of modern biology. Today it is one of the most important concepts in science and probably in the history of human thought." John Kress

“(The Origin is) a truly great book, one which after a century of scientific progress, can still be read with profit by professional biologists.” Sir Julian Huxley

"The name of Charles Darwin stands along side of those of Issac Newton and Michael Faraday; and like them, calls up the grand ideal of a searcher after truth and interpreter of nature." Thomas Henry Huxley
